उत्तर
ZZ/ZW type of sex determination is seen in peacock.
Explanation:
The ZZ/ZW type of sex determination is seen in birds, many fishes, and reptiles. In this system, the female is heterogametic (ZW), meaning she produces two types of eggs,one with the Z chromosome and one with the W chromosome. The male is homogametic (ZZ), producing only one type of sperm with the Z chromosome.

A couple with a newborn baby is troubled that the child does not resemble either of them. Suspecting that a mixup occurred at the hospital, they check the blood type of the infant. It is type O. Because the father is type A and the mother type B, they conclude that a mixup has definitely occurred. Are they correct? Give reason for your answer.
The person A has only B chromosomes in all its gametes. On the other hand, another person C has chromosome D in half of gametes and chromosome E in the other half of gametes. When chromosomes B and D combine during fertilisation, a female zygote results. On the other hand, combination of B and E chromosomes produces a male zygote.
(a) What are chromosomes (i) B (ii) D, and (iii) E?
(b) Out of B, D and E, which two chromosomes are of the same type?
(c) Which chromosome is smaller in size?

Sex of an individual is determined by different factors in various species. Some animals rely entirely on the environmental ones, while in some other animals the individuals can change their sex during their life time indicating that sex of some species is not genetically determined. However in human beings, the sex of an individual is largely determined genetically.
